I am sending it back. This thing looks nice but has to many downfalls for me.

1. Wont fit in hygrometer hole has an adapter but then the hygrometer sticks out and isnt flush with humidor.

2. It's + -4% accurate. For the money I would expect it to be more accurate then that.

Im getting a digi kixar............

Don't waste your money.

Curious to see how accurate it actually is.

If it's not that accurate, I'm gonna send it back and get a xikar digital as they are -+2%

I use a Hygroset II in my humi's. It's +-2% RH and +-1 degree temp. And cheap too. I just looked at the Xikar units online, same price but have automatic calibration... makes me wonder how accurate it is if you automatically calibrates. Does anyone have any info?

Depending upon the size of the hole that you are trying to fit HygroSet recently came out with a "Front Mount" hygrometer that has the sensors on the back instead of the front. It's 1 7/8" diameter, +/- 2% accuracy and fully adjustable... I put one of these inside the door on my Vino.

I think I am going to start stocking them...

The Xikar 832 XI is my hygrometer of choice. I found them pretty cheap on amazon at 18 bucks a piece with free shipping so I bought 6 of them. I would love to have 6 more so I can place two in each humidor side by side to verify the accuracy. That does look like a nice hygrometer but I am putting my trust in the Xikar's.
